A 28-year-old Annville Township man has been charged with setting fire to a van in earlier this month.

David M. Goodman-Hlavaty, 115 Heisey Drive, was arraigned Thursday on charges of arson, risking a catastrophe and recklessly endangering another person. His bail was set at $100,000, and he was taken to Lebanon County prison. He was arrested on Wednesday, police said.

Goodman-Hlavaty was charged with setting fire to a van owned by Ashlie Gulliver that was parked in front of her home at 11:55 p.m. May 9. Gulliver told police that she was asleep but was awakened when she heard glass breaking.

A witness heard a loud bang and saw flames coming from the rear of the van and tried to extinguish the fire.
